Freddy Fermin hit an RBI single into left center in the bottom of the 12th inning to give the Royals a 2-1 win over the Red Sox Friday night.

Freddy Fermin singed to center to drive in the winning run in the bottom of the 12th inning as the Royals beat the Sox, 2-1, before a crowd of 30,348 at Kauffman Stadium. Kansas City has won seven straight, 10 of 11 and 16 of their last 18. They are 16-5 at home.

Finally, in the 11th inning, with the extra inning runner, the Red Sox managed to score their guy off two groundouts, one of which featured a ridiculous play at shortstop by Bobby Witt Jr to field a ricochet and throw out the runner at first.
